Yep, I have a good bunch of pics, I got lucky and was able to get 
into the hangar just before the whole lot was shut down and locked up 
by out commy loving pacifist government's disarmarment minister... grrr

I made a good number of contacts in the A-4 community over here, and 
thankfully managed to get a lot of pics, measurements and even a few 
parts and manuals.  Plus some of the A-4 guys who are still serving, 
have access to where they airframes are stored pending their sale.

Nasty ride.... hmmm  But the Tool Buying, that sounds like fun <lol>

We are having frustrations with builders down here, we may end up 
buying rather than building simply because we are looking down the 
barrel of an 18 month delay before they can even start building......
